Governor Goodrich Urges State To Observe French Bastille Day

On the fourth day of July the people of France celebrated the birth of the American Republic. On Sunday, July 14, the people of France will commemorate the one hundred and twenty-ninth anniversary of the fall of the Bastille, an event which sounded the death knell of autocracy in France and the birth of the republic. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, has asked for a suitable observance of this day in our own land. Every patriotic American likes to think of the friendship which has ever existed between his country and the French people. It was a friendship in the hour of travail when a new republic was born into the world. The friendship which has been* cementea by a common ideal and a friendship which will grow stronger and stronger as we join our common efforts to drive the last vestige of despotism and autocracy from the face of the earth. The city of Indianapolis will commemorate the fall of the Bastille on Sunday, July 14, and I therefore urge the citizens of , Indiana to join theta in a proper observance of the day, and thus demonstrate that we have not forgotten the great debt of gratitude we owe them for the help they gave us in the cause of liberty in the dark hours of the Revolution. JAMES P. GOODRICH, Governor of Indiana.

NOT GOING TO OREGON.

The article in the Benton Review in reference to Mr. and Mrs. Del Gilson, of this city, moving to Portland,' Oregon, in September, is an error. They will visit their daughter in the west this fall. Mr. Gilson has a splendid business here and he and his wife have a host of friends who would not permit them to leave under any consideration. Mr. and Mrs. Gilson were in Fowler last Sunday and attended the Dreamland theatre and witnessed the great picture, Gerard’s, “My Four Years in Germany.”

John Kolhoff, trustee of Jordan township, is sporting 'a fine new Dodge runabout. Charles Pettet of Kersey, was in Rensselaer looking after business matters today. * Every fellow thinks the war is hitting him the hardest. Better be happy that you still have something to hit when they strike at you. Charles R. Peregrine and son, Donald, of Tefft, were in Rensselaer today. They attended the funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson this afternoon at McCoysburg. If th® soldiers in the cantonments in this county are anxious to go “over there,” and if the soldien over tnere afe ‘•raring” to go “over the top,” and get the Kaiser we fellows at home should have enough pep to do our duty and make any sacrifice' necessary. Let’s not look yellow to the fellows when they come home."

A man takes a day off when he celebrates a birthday. But a woman takes a year off. The reason why a man is kind of ashamed of the crooked finger he got from working hard is because he is real proud of the crooked “finger he got from playing bail. A girl doesn’t mind paying a whole week’s salary for a well silk combination that you canjt see, because she knows that if you could see it you would feel real proud of her. After you have roamed around for a while you begin to discover that most of the sore toes were stubbed when their owners were doing things that they hadn’t any business doing. When a man gets through combing what is on his head, he is done. But when a woman gets through combing what is growing on her scalp she has to start in and comb a half a yard of store hair. Once in a while a woman gets so hard up for something to boast about that she will brag because her husband always washes his feet and changes his socks every time he has to go and get a pew pair of shoes. x ■■ ■■ - A lot of bur women folks sure do look funny in the outfits they wear because they want to be in style. But, thank goodness, few of them ever look as Godforsaken as the female animals in the color plates of the fashion magazine. The faker who was peddling Electric Salve was attracting an audience to his wagon by performing feats of magic. “It is easy to get money,” he announced, “and you need never be broke. When I need money I say: , ‘Hokus Pokus, Diplodoeusl’ and then I remove my left shoe thusly. And what do I find in the shoe? Ah, there it is! A tendollar bill!” Si Meddergrass was deeply impressed by the simple recipe for obtaining money and he hurried around the corner and sat down on a door step and said: “Hoku Pokus, Diplodocus!” Then he removed his left shoe. But all he found was a scent

FORMER LOWELL MERCHANT GETS TOO MUCH SUGAR

The most serious of charges are to be preferred next Monday at the fortnightly meeting of the Lake county defense council against George Hoevet, of Lowell, one of the best known men in the southern part of the county. Hoevet, who is the federal food administrator for Cedar Lake township, is accused by Lowell citizens of receiving hundreds of pounds of sugar from Chicago in violation of federal restrictions. The sugar is said to have been shipped over the Indiana and Southern railroad to North Hayden, just west of LowellThe sugar came from Chicago and the wholesaler who Shipped it will probably be cited to appear before the Cook county war board and explain his transaction. State Food Administrator Barnard has been notified of the alleged violation.

U. S. CATHOLIC VIEW OF WAR MODEL FOR IRISH

Dublin, July 12.—The pro-con-scription newspapers in Ireland hold out the American cardinals’ war manifesto as an example to the Irish bishops who oppose conscription. “What is good for American Cotholics ought to be good for Irish Catholics,” is the keynote of comment. The Irish Times says: ( “How petty and sordid, compared io this grand confession of faith, is the Nationals’ attitude toward the war. Admit, for the sake of argument, that Ireland has a bitter grievance. England has a thousand times greater grievance than the imaginings of the most fanatical Sinn Fiener. “By what plea of hatred can the Nationalists hope to convince the world that Ireland is entitled to sulk in the most terrific war human history has known.”

GUARDS MAKE SPLENDID SHOWING FRIDAY EVENING

Forty-eight Liberty Guards were drilling on the streets Friday evening. These men make a most excellent showing and are becoming quite proficient in military tactics. For those who will be called to the colors this drilling will be of inestimable value and for those who will remain at home the physicial development is worth many times the effort expended. It is understood that the guards are soon to be uniformed. This will add greatly to their appearance and will undoubtedly put zest into their actions.

MONON MAN KILLED BY THRESHING ENGINE

August R. Han, of Monon, was killed Thursday while acting as engineer on a threshing engine, on the Alva Thomas farm, two miles west of Monon. While engaged in moving tile outfit, Mr. Han was backing the engine to attach same to the separator when in some manner he miscalculated the distance, or power, or lost control of the engine, and it crashed into the separator, crushing the ‘body of Mr. Han between them. His body was removed as soon as possible, but he lived only thirty minutes. Coroner M. M. Hughes held an inquest at 7 p. m. Thursday and gave his verdict “Crushed by traction engine—accidentally.”'

WILSON VETOES $2.40 WHEAT

SAYS PRICE WOULD BE UNFAIR TO ALLIES AND FARMERS DO NOT DEMAND IT. President Wilson has vetoed the act passed by congress placing the price of wheat at $2.40 per bushel. Among other reasons he gives the following: “A fixed minimum priee of $2.40 per bushel would, it is estimated, add $2 a barrel to the price of flour; in other words, raise the price of flour from the, present price of $10.50 to $12.50 at the ipfll, and inasmuch as we are anticipating a crop of approximately 900,000,000 buShels of wheat, this increase would be equivalent to the immense sum of $387,000,000. Such an increase in the price of wheat in the United States would force a corresponding increase in the price of Canadian wheat. The allied government would of couse be obliged to make all of their purchases at the increased figure, and the whole scale of their financial operations in this country, in which the government of the United States is directly assisting, would be thereby correspondingly enlarged. The increase would also add very materially to the cost of living and there would inevitably ensue an increase in the wages paid in practically every industry in the country. These added financial and economic .difficulties, affecting practically the whole world, can not, I assume, have been in contemplation by the Congress in passing this legislation.”
